Hi, folks,
Yesterday I bought a bluetooth keyboard and had an absolute nightmare pairing
the device to the computer. When I went into system preferences and keyboard,
there was an add bluetooth keyboard button which I pressed. The result was
that the new keyboard was found for about three seconds and then the message
"no keyboard found" came up. So then I went to system preferences and
bluetooth and clicked the add new device button. The result of that was a real
nightmare trying to enter the pass code which just wouldn't happen; I kept
getting the message "pairing was unsuccessful".
To try and make a long story short, the Apple Care person with whom I was
working just happened to mention that that particular message didn't remain on
the screen for very long and then, by sheer luck, I caught the box before the
error message came up and realized that I had to type in the pass code and
press enter very quickly before the text field timed out which I managed to do.
Before I write to accessibility about this, I need to know if I missed
something or could have done something differently to make this process easier.
Otherwise, I may have had to return the keyboard since I live alone and have
no access to sighted help. Without sighted help how are people coping with
this problem. Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Sincerely,
